Zombie Derby – Entertainment Game Review
Zombie Derby is a Entertainment/Action/Racing game from Oleksii Netrebenko, first launched in 10th April 2014.
It’s rated 12+ and currently has 135+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Zombie Derby Stand Out
Do you have the drive to survive? Real men have two favourite things: cars and guns. And no stinking zombie apocalypse is going to change that.
Take control of your car to see how far you can get and how many zombies you can kill – and if you can actually escape with your brains intact. 5 cars are available to get you to the final fort, each capable of holding progressively more loot. Ranging from the simple Redneck pick-up and the classy Hunter and to the tough Sledge and frankly-silly Harvester, you’ll enjoy throwing these bodged-up jalopies at the lines of the undead.
Each is highly customisable, with 15 upgrades including spiked bumpers, improved tyres, buffed engines, and more ammo, fuel and nitros. With 5 locations to traverse, handsome 3D graphics and gory shambling bodies, Zombie Derby™ is a killer game. How far can you get before they get YOU?
Game Features:
- 5 killer cars to drive
- 5 vast levels to explore
- Massively customisable vehicles
- Gory 3D graphics
- Addictive gameplay
This Entertainment game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
This is the best derby game we have ever played yet.
This game is a little challenging but super fun and awesome graphics so it is worth it.
Love it , it is a blast, our wife loves it too, even our grandma loves it.
We absolutely love this game can't wait for an update.
Great game to play. The only thing we don't like is how long it takes to refill your fuel.
So cool and zombie brain Crushing skulls and driving fun.
Its nice to have a simple to control fun game for all ages our kids love zombies cause our wife and we love zombies and horror films and im sure theres other families that can relate.
This is a very fun game but some of the levels can get very difficult.
This is a very fun game to play and is awesome.
Some levels can be difficult but the gameplay keeps us playing more.
We didn't expect this game to be half as fun to play as it is. It might be just a tad bit over challenging for most people though, ourselves included. That being said, graphics have always taken a back seat to gameplay for us here at our shop and this game has that fun gameplay that we are always looking for. The great visuals are just icing on the cake for us. Without going into our usual breakdown of the score, (we are extremely pressed for time this week) here is our final score: 9.1(mean average) of 10.0.
It's great except you have to wait till your gas fills up to continue playing or pay!!!. This is a deal breaker.
We can't get passed level 2 we have the car fully upgraded and full fuel we spend hours a day trying to beat it but simply can't.
We thoroughly enjoy this game. Granted we're not going to call it app of the year, but it's a game worth the time spent playing, and it's fun! What more can you ask from a game? Waiting for gas is annoying though- take that aspect out and add something else to maintain some of the difficulty, and it's a 5 star game.
We really like this game and it's awesome but if they could come up with an update where you don't have to wait for fuel this game would be a lot more enjoyable.
It doesn't seem greedy at least at lv1.
This game is really simple and tons of fun. The customization of the car and the different levels make it challenging and let's be honest who doesn't like killing zombies.
We bought two $4.99 packs and put in our password and it said your purchase was successful but we didn't get the funds either time and we were charged. If we get our coins we'll give it the 5 starts because other than that it's a fun game.
We can't pass the level with sledge and everything is upgraded and we still can't pass it.
This is a vary cool game love it.
Good progressive game play. Doesn't force you to buy to continue to play.
Keeps crashing when we try to load it.
This game keeps closing and quitting.we're on an iPad 2 it shouldn't be doing this.
It's no working on our iPhone 5c it opens but doesn't go to the main menu of the game it just exits and we want to play please make update that fixes that.
WOW we ran level two with the tier 3 truck and it still didn't make it this thing is horrible our advice don't download but if you do just hack it with an online save file.
Freakin awesome game!!…..MAKE MORE.
We wish you could level your truck up more so the level was a lil easier but other than that it's amazing.
It is a fun game, but to us it seems like they make it where you have to buy coins in order to continue on! You can't keep playing the same level over and over because it doesn't give you anymore coins!!! Stupid.
We liked the game you should get more cars tho.
The game is WAY too easy and has WAY too many glitches and is always exiting out of the game.
Beautiful game, the only thing missing is damage to your ride as you get them zombies.
We like this zombie car shooter game. It has good graphics for a free game and it has a great speed for play, not like other free zombie car shooter games were its loaded with lags.5X.
We gave this game a five star, because we like killing Zombies and this game can be a lot more fun if you guys put in some kind of team or a type of race! But its a lot of fun!! Download Zombie Derby and have fun.
Out of all the games we played this is our favorite.
We love your game and we would like you to make it better.
We love this game because it has good quality graphics and lots if blood.
This is literally a free 3D version of earn to die but 50 times better and they have the gas refuel so you aren't playing 24-7.
So the first level is like hARD because max upgrades cant get very far but we beat it after tries we were lucky with the boost and fuel just asking if u would make the first level shorter or add checkpoints.
This game is fun. But we would wait till they decide to fix the crashing and freezing up problem. Becomes frustrating when you wait for your gas to replenish and it locks up half way through the game and you lose progress as well as the gas used during that game. Please please fix this game.
Wait for gas just to freeze every other round.
Decent game but trashes every 5 minutes losing a little progress each time, pretty frustrating… Update. This game freezes every time on the last level and pisses you off don't get it.
